There are a multitude of studies that show that not only does mass immigration from radically different cultures weaken social trust between groups but even within one’s own group. One of the reasons that Anglo countries thrive is because of the expectation that someone you don’t even know will do the right thing by you. When I use Paypass at the pub to purchase a drink on a Friday night, I don’t feel like I need to be checking the screen to make sure the bartender is not entering a higher figure and pocketing the difference.
It is reasonable to state that a country is a reflection of the values, morals, characteristics and genetics of the people within that landmass. In Australia, as with any country, if one imports people from say the Arabian Peninsula then Australia will become less an Anglo country and more Arab. Multiculturalism has in Australia resulted in us having a weaker Anglo identity as can be seen in even something as simple as the neutralisation of our accents in the last 20 or so years.
On Saturday 26th November, the declining Fairfax empire decided to actually conduct some journalism on Caltex franchises screwing their workers over with wages. Unfortunately as with most of the politically-correct Fairfax empire, you have to read between the lines to get a clear picture of how our immigration program has lead to these problems.
For the uninitiated, Australia runs an unsustainable welfare program called the pension in which the older generation- which lives longer and longer- gets carte blanche to steal money from those trying to make a living and raise families. Many of these boomers live in $1m houses (inflated by immigration, super investments and favourable tax treatment of property) but somehow find it completely reasonable to force their children and grand-children to choose between renting a box or taking out a mortgage on a loan for a house in a crappy location between two cities just to have enough to survive. If this injustice is not bad enough, they expect to be paid by this generation to sit on their arses on couches in these $1m homes. The Government makes the case that because young people aren’t popping out enough kids that we need to import people from all corners of the globe to finance this large ponzi scheme. At the moment, Australia imports an amazing 1% of its population each year in new immigrants- cities are crowded, congested and miserable. The baby boomer generation has to be amongst the worst to have ever existed.
Anyway the following quotes in this article are quite revelatory:
Sohaib is one of thousands of Caltex service station workers who work night shifts, putting themselves in harm’s way for as little as $13 an hour, which is less than half the legal rate…
…The next day his family in Pakistan were visited by four armed men. He is now fearful of speaking out to authorities or the media in case the threats of violence against his family are carried out.
He says, “In Pakistan, it costs $50 to kill someone. Life is cheap.”…
…Chakkour says the various changes to the Caltex system over the years resulted in a lot of older, predominantly Anglo, franchisees exiting the system and new, mostly Indian and Pakistani franchisees coming in…
…Fairfax has obtained numerous timesheets and pay records that appear to show employees at Aurangzieb Rana’s sites being paid as little as $13 an hour, in cash…
Aurangzieb Rana has denied any allegation of wage fraud. He says he was estranged from other members of his family and otherwise had no connection to companies within the Rana group…
…A former Caltex worker, who requested anonymity, says in the store he works, he is paid $13 an hour to do the work of three people.
He says the franchisee, who he requested not be identified, operates a side business which involves sponsoring workers at a cost of $40,000 per sponsorship fee.
He says if a worker is sick or gets injured on the job, they aren’t covered. He says some of the stores employ Australian workers who work the morning shift and are paid correctly….
There ya go, we are importing Pakistanis who intimidate and screw over other Pakistanis. But this is not just a problem for these people- Caltex, by operating these franchisees which illegally undercut wages thereby put pressure on the market as a whole. This is bound to change the whole business culture of Australia which is destined to become ever more ruthless and exploitative. Once again, the baby boomers are leaving us a completely different Australia than the one in which they were privileged to enjoy.
Mass migration from places like India and Pakistan are already changing our culture in little but radical ways and not for the better
By the way who wins out of this deal? Arseholes like the CEO of Caltex, Julian Segal. Would you buy a car from this creature?
